Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
The conventional method of manufacturing skin electrode patches is inefficient, requiring manual assembly and cutting, which slows down production lines and lacks structural strength to prevent breakdowns.
Innovation Solution
A shape cutting device with a roller-type configuration, featuring a cutting knife with protruding side cutters and second-end cutters, is introduced to facilitate efficient cutting and assembly of electrode patches, including a conveyor system for automated processing.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If manual assembly and cutting methods are used for electrode patch manufacturing, then flexibility and simplicity are maintained, but production speed and efficiency deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
The electrode lead is pre-installed on the coated substrate layer before the cutting process. The positioning conveyor includes positioning tools that ensure the electrode lead is correctly positioned in advance, so that after cutting, the lead is already in place and only lamination is needed to complete the assembly. This preliminary action eliminates the need for post-cutting assembly operations.
2Reliability
If conventional cutting devices are used, then simple structure is maintained, but structural strength and reliability deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
The shape cutting device is integrated with the positioning conveyor to form a combined assembly. The cutting device includes a cutting blade, pressing wheel, and positioning tools that work together in a coordinated manner. This merging of functions into a single integrated device provides structural strength and reliability while maintaining operational simplicity.
3Manufacturing precision
If manual cutting and assembly processes are used, then ease of operation is maintained, but manufacturing precision and consistency deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
The positioning tools on the conveyor belt automatically position the coated substrate layer and electrode lead in the correct locations without requiring manual intervention. The cutting blade automatically cuts along the predetermined shape, and the pressing wheel automatically applies pressure during lamination. This self-service mechanism ensures consistent manufacturing precision while maintaining ease of operation through automated processes.
